Besides the ice mat, refrigeration is a critical factor to make and maintain ice.
For the refrigeration of our ice rinks we make use of the extensive fleets of our preffered international refrigeration rental partners. Each company is a true specialist in the field of Chiller and heating equipment, each with a dedicated 365/24/7 service and maintenance team. For each individual project/client we design the best cooling solution and then supply this with one of our prefered suppliers:
Some rules of thumb and checkpoints when using chiller equipment:
size and weight matters: Ice rinks can sometimes be placed on tight venue sites, with restricted acces or even on rooftops or pontoons.
more is better: We prefer to use more than one chiller unit if possible. This improves cooling efficiency and reduces the risk of a complete shutdown in the rare ecevnet of a defected machine
Be silent! Depending on the type of chiller and it’s age, some chillers can be quite noisy. Especially in a city center this is a absolute NO GO. IceFactor pays extra attention to the noise specification of rental chillers and makes sure you will be supplied with new and silent equipment.
